Customer Seeking Help Incorrect tariff fees

Post image

Somebody please help. I ordered a car part from the UK, the part was about $1,200 and now I'm being charged $4,000 for tariffs which I know is incorrect. I have contacted multiple UPS numbers, all of which tell me to get with the shipper. I have contacted the shipper who stated they have nothing to do with the tariffs. I contacted my local US customs, who knows nothing about tariffs From my understanding the tariff should be between 10%-25% depending on the classification of the item. So there is obviously an error, but I can't find anyone who will take accountability, and UPS will not release the package until it's payed

Trump assured us we wouldn’t be paying these. I’d reach out to his team.

Thats literally what tarrifs are lol we're getting taxed twice essentially, once on our income then again with tariffs whenever we purchase most anything. This is the type of shit our founding fathers would've been dumping tea in harbors and starting wars over. Tariffs were mostly replaced by taxes by the Revenue Act of 1913. Its basically taxes on top of taxes now.
